What would the min requirements for a quadbox be? I know its 75$ a month but what about computer parts?

Depends on you. If you want to be able to play with decent fps and decent graphic settings on at least one of your toons I wouldn't go with anything less than a quad core cpu, 8 gigs of ram, at least a 9600gt graphics card and at very minumum a 500w power supply. You can probly build a decent machine to run 5 WoWs for about $650-800 with parts from new egg. Personally I am going very high end and currently building an i7 rig.

Well if you really wanna multibox I heard fast food places hire 15 year olds now you can work a few hours a day after school and be good. I would wait though since it is a costly hobby you will need a decent income.

If you can't afford it, don't do it.

It's as simple as that.

As far as part time work is concerned - with fast food you'll be limited to nights and weekends during school, and (I think) 20 hours a week tops. There are absolutely no guarantees on how many hours you'll ACTUALLY end up with.

I don't know about you, but in my neck of the woods, fast food jobs are pretty hard to get if you're a suburban white kid, if you get my drift. (No racist comments, I did'nt create the reality, and it's not right, either, but it's there).

Also, a lot of people who got laid off last year and this year are applying for anything they can get - I was thinking of a part time gig to make up for hours I lost because of the downturn, and there's *nothing* out there, in my area.

My advice to someone 15, ask around your neighborhood if anyone wants lawns mown, cars washed, stuff like that. I did that as a young teen, and made good money - plus, it's under the table, so no taxes. The exercise will do you good, too - and that kind of stuff is easy to schedule with school and anything you might be doing. Ask your parents to ask around at work, too.

Another year or two, you can start hitting up malls and stuff - restaurant work, *maybe*.

Getting started in the job world these days for young teens is extremely hard. I hear it all the time, from family and friends. There are'nt that many jobs, and the ones there are, are taken by adults now. You have to be a little creative now, and think outside of fast food.

In my area all I see are suburban white kids working at fast food places, so I don't know what you're talking about with the whole "reality" thing.

At 15 years old, it's kinda tough to have $75 bucks laying around ever month to spend on whatever. Most kids that age don't have that kind of disposable income. Mowing lawns could be steady in the summertime, but remember lots of people vie for those jobs so you better start lining them up now. Helping out the little old ladies in your neighborhood with odd jobs and whatnot won't be consistent unless you're really committed to doing whatever it takes to make some cash.

Can you say "Everyday I'm hustlin'. Hustlin' Hustlin', cause that's what it'll take at your age.

It may be easier for you to just concentrate on one character, but if you're really geeking on having more than that, then maybe two characters is more of a realistic goal. Tank and a healer. Two mages. Two locks. Two boomkin. All of these combos are cool and fun to play. There are a lot of people on these forums that only play two, and you won't hear them complaining that it's not fun.

And $30 bucks a month is a lot easier to gather than $75.

Yeah, maybe it's not five characters, but who says you HAVE to play five when less can be just as fun?
